SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 592,278, dated October 26, 1897. Application filed April 24, 1896. serial No. 588,959. (No model.)

A vertical downward flange is formed to the The legs F for supporting the stove are stamped from sheet metal and conform to the base-rim A at their upper part and are secured there by a bolt or other means. These logs are similar in contour to the cast legs of a stove, with vertical strengthening-rib at the center. They are made ornamental in contour at the top and placed outside the rim A, and suitable ears F project under the edge of the rim to locate the same positively and afford additional support. This is the preferred construction. The outside of the leg can be conformed to the inner side of the rim A and secured there with abolt or otherwise and make a very serviceable leg, though not so strong as the construction first indicated. This modified construction is definitely illustrated in Fig. 5.

Having thus describedmy improved stove, I desire to state that it can be considerably varied in its details without departing from my invention, as has already appeared to a considerable extent in the detailed description.

All of the main parts of my improved stove could be supported on cast-metal legs, which would of course dispense with the advantage of the light sheet-metal legs, but would still secure a very light stove. On the other hand, the sheet-metal legs, as I have illustrated, could be used for supporting other varieties of stoves and secure the advantages of re dueing the weight that much.

The method of connecting the parts together can be considerably varied. The flange A could be dispensed with and the fount be supported by other means, though the flange serves its purpose best. The cone 3 might be made integral with the bottom plate B of the drum instead of being made in a separate piece, as shown, and the conformation of the bottom plate of the drum could also be considerably varied and answer its purpose, though the exact form I have shown it secures a finished appearance and the greatest possible strength for the construction. It is also obvious that the formation of the cover might be varied as well as the means of locating it on the top; but the means I have chosen will be found to secure the greatest strength and preserve the contour of the parts best from accidental injuries. The form of the deflector E is not material. Other variations would no doubt readily occur to those skilled in the art to which my invention pertains. The construction exactly as I have shown it possesses the greatest merits.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a portable oil heating-stove the combination of the sheet-metal base-rim A, with an upwardly-projeeting vertical portion a, and the inwardly-projectin g flange Ct, at the top; sheet-metal drum A, resting on the said rim A, and fittiu g the vertical portion thereof; the sheet-metal rim A, convex 011 its upper surface with an annular depression and downwardly-projecting vertical flange fitting inside the drum A; the fount D, with burner D,-supported on the flange a; sheet-metal bottom plate 13', the burner-cone 13, at the center of said bottom plate the radiatingdrum B, resting on the plate 13, and fitting the vertical portion thereof; a suitable deflector E, within the drum to deliver the heated gases to the outside thereof and the top C, with suitable perforations at the top of the drum to insure circulation for the purpose specified.

2. In a portable oil-stove the combination of a suitable base portion; a radiating-drum 13, a sheet-metal bottom plate B for the drum having legs B, to support it on the base portion and afford a d raft-passage for the burner the said plate being formed with a vertical portion to fit within the drum B, and projecting inwardly with the burner-cone 13, at the center coacting as specified.

In portable oil heating-stove the com bination of the heating-drum B, the sheetmetal top U, convex toward its outside with a vertical flange at the center the sheet-metal cover C, with a dish-shaped portion 0, secured to the under side thereof to fit within the vertical flange and locate the cover and strengthen the same as specified.

4. In a portable oil-stove the combination of the rims and plates stamped from sheet metal convex toward their outside to strength en and ornament the same, with flanges at the inside; sheet-metal drums between the various rims and fitted to the flanges thereof to form necessary compartments in the stove and a sheet-metal top convex on its upper surface and fitted to the top of the stove to form a light and strong stove as specified.

5. In a heating-stove the combination of the sheet-metal base-rim A, convex toward its outside; the sheet-metal stove-leg F, having a central strengtheningrib therein with its upper end conformed to the base-rim A, with ears F, projecting under the rim to locate the same and engage the edge securely and a suit able means for joining the' two together for the purpose specified.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two witnesses.
